Park rangers have been called to a record number of crashes in the suburbs involving the bouncing marsupials, according to a report by The Canberra Times.

There have already been 2,291 incidents so far this year - compared with 2,634 in the whole of 2017.

"The way we're tracking, it's likely we're going to have more than 4,000 kangaroo incidents by the time the year is done," Daniel Iglesias, director of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Parks and Conservation Service, told the newspaper.
